A COMPANY director claimed in the High Court yesterday that Nenagh Urban Council should not have issued a certificate in 1994 stating that a development where Dunnes Stores now has an outlet complied with planning permission.
Mr Joseph O'Connor, Tyone, Nenagh, Co Tipperary, who is proprietor of O'Connor's Shopping Centre, Nenagh, claims the Dunnes premises at Annbrook, Limerick Road, Nenagh does not comply with planning permission provided in 1974. He further claims the development endangers public safety because it is sited on a national primary road.
The council denies the claims and says the premises at Annbrook was constructed in substantial compliance with planning permission issued to Mr Thomas Mulqueen for the development of the site in November 1974.
